2023-11

• @chrisburrows Added support for compile time defaults for setting DELAY, EXTERNAL, INVERTS and HA discovery

2026-07 - Changed to PowerManager

• Added support for the AW9523(B) 16-port I2C expander (expander type selector replaces the PCF8574 checkbox; legacy configs migrate automatically)
• Maximum number of relays raised from 8 to 16
• Added segment coupling: a relay can follow a segment's on/off state (incl. "any segment" master mode) to cut power to individual LED sections
• Added relay names (settings page or POWERMANAGER_NAMES), used in the segment "Power relays" menu, Info page and HA discovery
• Split delay-s into per-relay delay-on-s and delay-off-s (legacy configs migrate to both)
• Added anti-flash power-on: black frames around energising a coupled port (black-pre-ms/black-post-ms)
• Added stabilize-s PSU stabilization for any-segment master relays: sections wait after the main supply powers on
• Relay 0 is now the dedicated Master AC relay slot (enable checkbox on the settings page; the any-segment role is reserved for it)
• Added optional main power sync: main power follows the Master AC relay (off when everything is off, restored by switching a segment on)
• Presets can carry relay links (PowerManager block with optional "save":false for RAM-only application)
• Renamed from Multi Relay to Power Manager and split off as a standalone external usermod; configuration from a previous multi_relay installation migrates automatically (original multi_relay by @blazoncek remains part of WLED)
